What is Evolution?

We emerged into plant life, and into the animal state, and then into being human, and always we have forgotten our former states, except in early spring when we slightly recall being green again.

That’s how a young person turns towards a teacher.

That’s how a baby leans toward the breast, without knowing the secret of its desire, yet turning instinctively.

Humankind is being led along an evolving course, through the migration of intelligences, and though we seem to be sleeping, there is an inner wakefulness that directs the dream, and that will eventually startle us back to the truth of who we are.”

A New Fire

Burning burning a new fire is burning
Out with the old
In with the new
A new day
A new time
Has finally come

No longer will I run
I am renewed
Revitalized by a slow burning flame
Brought into the fire of judgment
